High school students can benefit from taking Wayland classes while still in high school. The concurrent enrollment program allows students to receive college credit as well as high school credit (where approved by the high school). Students attend evening and Saturday classes along with college students, gaining both experience and college credits.

If you are interested in concurrent enrollment, please contact Emma Graham at emma.graham@wbu.edu for more information.
